For those of you out there ashamed of Herschel Walker’s midlife-crisis inspired foray into mixed martial arts, I laugh at you. Did you forget about the state of Alabama?
In the tradition of such historic Alabama events like “Johnny Got His Cage,” featuring a limbless Kyle Maynard flopping around like the evil twin from “Basket Case,” I present to you DMX vs. Eric Martinez.
X gon’ give it to ya!

I heard special guest referee is Kyle Maynard.

Alabama is home to NASA and ranks 3rd in education. They put on some of the first UFC events ever when no other state would do it. They have been good to MMA and do not fit the stereotypes you get from school. Recovering from the firehose action is tough but remember this…Alabama desegregated schools before New York did and is currently more multi-racial/cultural than any northern state.

Is it possible to get a prelim with Coco (Ice T’s wife) and anyone. I just want to see her roll around in a bikini and it seems like it would fit right in with this card.

DMX learned his moves while filming on set with Steven Seagal! In fact, Eric Martinez is bringing four of his boyz and DMX is gonna fight em’ all at once! Now, this is actually deep insider information that I’m not really supposed to divulge to anyone! But, I trust you, Jesse! I know you won’t tell anybody else!

Leben almost triangled Terry Martin. I think he has un underrated ground game. Though it looked lacking in his last fight. But I know what you are saying. Kimbo is taking the right steps towards learning and hopefully he doesn’t get a big head like he did according to Bas. Kimbo should be humbled through the ultimate fighter. Win or lose (likely losing), it will be a learning experience for Kimbo.

stink i read his biography called E.A.R.L…not sure why i read it lol but dude smoked a blunt laced with crack one time (he didn’t know it was laced he said) and yea he became mad addicted to crack for a while, this was when he was like 16, 17. Now he just smokes blunts, he’s def off the crack, he just acts like a crack-head!! lol
P.S. it was actually a pretty sweet fockin book lol. a lot of cool stories in their, man he was a beauty when he was young. Best story – he lost his virginity when he was 14, to a 24 year old that lived in his appartment. Also taught his dog (which he was a tattoo on his back of) Boomer, to snatch old ladies purses and climb chain link fences!! true story lol

kibbled,
I don’t know you and certainly have no beef with you, but what the hell. What weight class would you fall into? I could go at 170 no problem, maybe 155 if needed. I have some jits and muay thai training. Do you have any formal training? Let’s petition the promoter and the state.
Jesse, this could be huge the first ever Maniac throwdown.
by Jeff on Sep 29, 2009 4:49 PM EDT up reply actions
Jeff are you slow because you rode on the short bus to school and there wasn’t a lot of oxygen to breathe? Who are you? Did you just call out an anonymous poster for making a joke, or are you just trying to show everyone how hard you are?
by jay on Sep 29, 2009 7:11 PM EDT up reply actions
Jeff,
I weigh 175 and have no prior training whatsoever. Promise. But if you indeed could set this up, I would gladly take kibbleds place and meet @ some catchweight other than 155.
Mania,
I’m interested in this proposal and it would be cool, the 1st sanctioned mmamania poster throwdown.
Alabama pride,
Ugh I’m adressing Alabama pride. Ha ha. I would do this fight for free just for some name recognition, the stories, and a lil shine of fame before I start muay Thai etc, like I wanted to for some time.
Jay,
Not sure if he meant that rude or strictly as a respectful idea due to kibbleds comment. But I’m in.
by Daniel worby on Sep 29, 2009 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Are you guys kidding me? If kibbled comes back and checks this post he will roll around on the floor.
Hell it could even be a woman?
Jeff if you really want a fight there are a million pro/amateur events all over the US, trust me you do not have to go looking for a fight on blogging websites.
Or maybe you wanted to just tell everyone that you train?
by Nick J on Sep 30, 2009 5:14 AM EDT up reply actions
Everyone relax. I’m not calling out anyone and have no desire to fight pro/amateur events. Just letting kibbled know that if the good people at Thunder Promotions want to pay us. I’m in.
I have no idea who kibbled is and mean no disrespect to him or her. Just having some fun. Nick, I’m not looking for a fight. Just willing to meet up in Alabama for a pay day.
by Jeff on Sep 30, 2009 8:51 AM EDT up reply actions
I’m not being a jerk or nothin either. But taking a local fight in regina etc, would be a much more vigorous path, not to say I won’t, cause I have every intention of fighting whether easy road or not, I’m simply saying I would take this fight, for the pure publicity factor. And it would generate some talk so… That’s it I kno it won’t happen but I just wanted my name in there in case by some miracle it did. I would be mad if 2 others got this opportunity due to me not posting my stance on it.
Have fun guys!

I appreciate you agreeing with me sticky~fingers. I can’t stand Kanye West. The way he punked Taylor Swift…you know if a dude like 50 Cent or Dr. Dre got the award…he wouldn’t have the balls to go on stage and punk him. 50 Cent or Dr. Dre would have smashed him on the spot. I would pay top dollar to see Kanye get destroyed in an MMA fight. Dana please book it ; )

Finally a card to compete with UFC dominace. I was beggining to believe that the UFC was building an MMA monopoly. This card will truly put Dana White and the Fertittas on notice. Thunder Promotions has arrived with a bang. DMX is sure to impress in his MMA debut and Tank Abbott vs. Butterbean is gaurenteed to be a stand up war. I, for one, cannot wait for Alabama Pride.

Thank you for the invitation to Sacramento. The opportunity to fight you along with the third grade level insult is very appealing but unfortunately I am going to have to pass.

Since when are Dana’s fighters the only people in the world allowed to fight? I was fighting in bars before Dana was born, just so all you kids realize he didn’t invent fights. Man has been fighting since there has been man. Now you can only fight if you have a contract with Dana White? What ever happened to two people not agreeing (DMX & Martinez for example?) and squaring off? Props to DMX, at least he got the balls to back up his mouth. 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Kanye, all of the big rappers, have a lot to say about everybody but so far DMX is the only one I’m seeing that’s willing to put on gloves. I can’t remember a rapper getting shot since Biggie, so somebody has walk the walk. Good for DMX. Fuck a belt and any kind of -itsu, just go kick his ass.
